[Python] importlib resources files -> not a package, empty module

I tend to alwasy run the testers from inside the module folder, but this breaks the "resources.files" functionality, as it seems not to be able to find the module any more

module folder

my_package/
__init__.py
package.py
test_package.py


package.py

from importlib import resources
def run():
print("running")
resources.files(__package__)
return True
if __name__ == '__main__':
run()


test_package.py

import unittest
import package
class TestRest(unittest.TestCase):
def testSuccess(self):
self.assertFalse(False)
def testClassFound(self):
self.assertIsNotNone(package.run())


test in module folder:

$> cd my_package
my_package $> python -m unittest test_package
...
ValueError: empty module name


probably because the package attribute in the package.py file is no longer related when inside the module running the test?
